Seriously, good riddance. It added so much clutter to videos that I explicitly hid them any chance I got. I'd rather content creators just use the video description to communicate or edit their videos so that annotations would not be n

One of the boldest design decisions they made was to make the URL bar and search bar into one whereas every other browser (can't remember what Opera did) separated the two. That immediately hooked me from using Safari/Firefox. Tha

It's a pretty great general book that I go back to every now and then when I'm reviewing something I'm learning (i.e. GANs) but isn't something I would recommend for newbies to just pick up and try to understanding witho

I noticed Udemy also manipulates users by saying that x course is 80-90% off but only for one more day!!!!... until you realize it's been that exact same price for weeks/months. I understand it's not new to have the retail pr

One of the benefits of WFH is being able to just lie on my rug when I'm getting drowsy and take anywhere between a short (10-15 mins) to long (1-2 hour) nap. After that, I'll be razor focused for quite a number of hours afterward

I wonder why there's so much more emphasis on Linear Algebra over Calculus (I've seen a number of courses teaching LA to complement DL courses), given that without Calculus, it's hard to understand optimization and backpropag

I think there are network effects. Years ago, I was mostly interesting in Ruby/Rails because my friends in SF were interested in it and so I wanted to learn from them. There were also a ton of articles on HN that popped up. But as soon

I've done speed dating twice. Within a few minutes you can usually tell whether or not you'd even want to go on a first date because while physical attraction is one thing, so is having a conversation. I've certainly struggle

It's a great AI challenge but the pro/casual scene is very diminished from what it once was. Practically every single streamer who introduced me to the concept of streaming by playing/casting SC2 have either moved onto other

If you made an app just for white Christians, as a non-white non-Christian I'd be fine with it because it saves me from having to a) look at their profile, b) potentially get matched up with them, and c) waste my time. Chances are they

Seriously. I live in a city that is comprised of 50% white people. The vast majority of women's profiles exclusively say they want a white guy (source: me using Match). And when I use other apps, I get recommended matches (source: me u

It's understandable why they do that, but it can put journalists/writers of articles with clickbaity headlines in a tough spot, as they are often forced to defend headlines they never wrote in the first place!

Canadaland is a podcast/somewhat media website specifically covers Canadian News Media and Politics, and before I stopped subscribing (a few weeks ago) they were making over 10k per month.

Strangely, I feel the opposite. That the in-crowd is aware of the limitations of AI and the average educated citizen is largely fearful of the incoming implications of highly advanced AI.

I feel like if you are at the top of your game, and can make it at any of the major tech companies or can start your own startup without trouble at finding funding, the U.S. is way better. Most of my friends, including myself, earned 1.5-3x

Yeah I find it extremely inefficient. When I want to switch between apps, I'd almost rather just have a short list of the apps that are open or even just the icons (like Command + Tab on OSX)

This is great to hear. Andrej has contributed a lot to DL students worldwide, what with his lectures online and his writeups, that I'm glad he's continuing his upward trajectory. A very inspiring person.
